Eh, I disagree. I don’t want to defederate from any instance except blatantly illegal ones or immoral ones.
The admins of an instance being dickheads doesn’t make every user of that instance a dickhead. And if you go around defederating every instance you don’t agree with a minority on, we’re gonna end up with no friends at all. It will also drive people away from becoming Lamingtons if they see defederation drama going on - why join any instance if you may end up on a deserted island?
Side note: here’s a nice bit of light reading on tolerating intolerance. And not tolerating tolerance. And vice versa:

Right, which is exactly why they should be defederated. They don’t even follow their own rules and go out of their way to be arseholes to everyone, as long as they perceive it to be something that pushes their agenda.
